Month: October 2018

Hi All. Hope everyone is well and enjoying the sunny but colds day we have has of late, giving us a last chance to get our cars out before bedding down for the winter.

Our next club night , Ian Jones has arranged for us a talk & photographic show to given by Alan Cox, a Motor sports Photographer, Racing at Oulton Park & some Grands Prix from the 80s , with a few Midget & Sprites, he will all so provide commentary.

So if we could start our meeting that night at the slightly earlier time of 7-30pm , as we have a few things to talk about and I would like to start Alans talk about 8pm. Then we may also have time later for any chat that members would like to have.

I will remind you again just before the meeting , but if you could make a note in your diary of this start time . Thanks.

Cheers Neil

Hi All.

The Farmers Arms @ Heskin. that we are stopping at for the late lunch after the Halloween Run. Some of you have said you have had a problem with seeing the menu. The pub has recently changed hands and the website is being changed and menu is not on there as yet . We are intalks with the new landlady and all is well , we might even give our food order in just before we leave on the run, as the pub is very near to Park Hall Hotel.

Hope that make things clear, as thing change we will keep you informed.

Cheers Neil

Hi Bernie has asked me to send out the below message to all members of the North West Area.

Hello everyone.

Some of you will already have received an email regarding a repeat of this year’s trip to The Circuit Des Remparts race weekend at Angouléme, incorporating stopping off at various other attractions along the way there and on the way back.

I sent out the email to those who had been this year, and to others who expressed an interest at the October meeting, not thinking that there may be others who were not aware of the event, but would like to come.
So here are some loose details.

First. You don’t have to be in a Spridget. You are welcome in whatever vehicle you choose.

Next. The dates are 5th September to 19th September 2019.
The Outward bound ferry will be the 8.40pm from Portsmouth to Saint-Malo on the 5th and the homeward bound one will be the 10.30 am ferry from Saint-Malo to Portsmouth on the 19th. Some of us have already booked this

If you want to go, the most important thing is to book the Angouléme hotel ASAP, because due to the popularity of the event, the hotel fills up quite quickly.
The preferred hotel, which some of us have already booked, is, Campanile Angouléme Ouest-Saint-Yrieix. and you need to book as follows: Check in 12th September. Check out 16th September.
There are other budget hotels in Angouléme if the Campanile is full, and, although we can still meet up on the relevant days, it would be nice if we could all be in the same hotel.

The rest of the trip, at the moment is still a bit loose, but will probably involve a couple of car related museums and maybe the odd château or two.

The race weekend is of course the main attraction, but everyone is free to do whatever takes their fancy before and after that. You don’t need to feel that you have to do what everyone else is doing.

Anyway, that’s it so far. If you want any more information, please contact me at b.higg41@gmail.com or on 07905 412265 any time.

Best regards.
Bernie Higginson.
